Weekend headache
Usually two reasons have been
assigned to weekend headaches. The first reason could be oversleep or
under-sleep.
Generally people oversleep during the weekends, which
disturbs their regular sleep pattern. This causes a headache. On the
other hand, if the migraneur does not take enough sleep and is
constantly fatigued, then also it may lead to a weekend
headache.
The second reason is caffeine withdrawal. If a
caffeine-addict suddenly stops the intake of coffee, which he
regularly consumes during the week, it may lead to a 'caffeine
withdrawal' headache. This headache is also classified under weekend
headaches. The use of caffeine leads to abrupt vasodilation. Also,
once the effect of the caffeine wears off the person feels lethargic
and let down. So, if a person regularly consumes coffee during the
week, he must cut down on it gradually so that the symptoms of
caffeine withdrawal, like persistent headache, are minimized.
